You hit on the three basketball schools that make sense.
One sport conference additions have never worked in the long run. The football only additions to the MAC are long gone. Wichita State is considering coming back into football, and Creighton should consider the same.
It's more then fine to have Universities that focus only on basketball, but to include them in football centric conferences is a tough row to hoe.
UMass, UConn, and even Temple have the potential to have relevant football programs - they just need to decide that it's important for the future of their athletic programs. So far, they really haven't.

All this about the BigXII adding basketball only schools.

I'd Rather See the ACC take Football & Basketball Schools to do the same.

This looks like “Fox“ is getting into the henhouse. Are they behind this?

The rumors I'm seeing are that TBS is behind this.

That's the idea because apparently TBS is only looking for basketball
